from top TO bottom, jumped fifteen feet to
Mr. Eubanks barbed wire fence and shat
tered a post. skipped over five lengths Of
wire between posts until reaching the gate,
partially shivering that and the post on
which it was hanging. Gabrielle is
five miles east of Winter Park, and
six from Maitland, but the latter
is the distributing office for the mail, the
Lake Howell office being OH the route from
Maitland to Gabrielle through a very at
tractiye section of country
s. B. Myart, foreman of the Messy Head
section, shot a colOrei man, one of his sec
tion hands, Thursday afternoon, about eight
miles west of DeFGnak. The shooting was
done with a Winchester rifle, and the negro
was struck in the shoulder. Myart claims
the shooting was accidental; that he was
aiming at a knot on a croSstie, when the
bullet glanced and struck the negro Myart
said he did not know the negro was any
where about. The balance of the section
hands seem to think the shooting might
have been intentional. Physicians say the
negro will not die but may lose his arm.

| arrested at Jacksonville several days ago al
the instance of a colored man, with whom
she had some trouble about the sale of q
